NIBCO Pex Tubing and Component Parts Lawsuit

Berger & Montague has filed a lawsuit against NIBCO,
claiming that their cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) plumbing tubes
and component parts are substandard and fail earlier than consumers
anticipated.

About the
case

According to the lawsuit, NIBCO PEX tubing suffers from
oxidization. Oxidization is when oxygen affects the quality of a
material, such as metal or plastic. This can occur if the material
was not treated properly or has a flawed design. PEX tubing
oxidization can lead to cracks and ruptures, which causes water
leaks. The water also damages NIBCO's component parts, such as
their fittings and clamps.

People who have suffered property damage from NIBCO PEX tubing
have reported cracking and leaking, water saturation, property
damage to wall, ceilings, and carpets, and the need to repair and
replace the PEX tubing and components.

Although the suit is filed against NIBCO, you may still be able
to join if you have PEX plumbing tubes manufactured by Consolidated
Plumbing Industries (CPI), since NIBCO acquired CPI in 2006.
